Description

Is there any way your plugin can respect user choice? Currently OSX has an option for toggling the scrollbar state, this is an accessibility option as much as anything else. Currently your plugin overrides this choice, and hides the scrollbar even if the user has requested it always be shown.

![screen shot 2015-06-24 at 16 02 38](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1975168/8333369/77e02132-1a8a-11e5-89c8-f8c8bc553013.png)

If it were up to me people would stop messing with the scrollbars (it's a browser element, leave it alone!) but unfortunately people do use your plugin, so if there's anything you can do about this it would be amazing.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating where the plugin hides or configures scrollbars, then inspect how OS scrollbar preferences can be detected; done means the plugin leaves the scrollbar visible when the user has enabled always-show scrollbars on macOS.
